Brandon Aiyuk explained his “sit out this week, stand w yo guy!” comment on Davante Adams’s Instagram post about Derek Carr
The wide receiver, however, explained that it was a joke and he was having some fun with Adams.
“It was a little fun. I think people took it a whole different way,” Aiyuk said. “If you don’t have to play Davante Adams — I would love to not play Davante Adams. I’m trying to win a football game. If Davante Adams is not out there, I’m sure that would increase our chances by a lot.” Instead, Aiyuk blames Raiders fans for the tweet being taken out of context.
“It was more a nod to Davante Adams, having some fun,” he said. “But, you know, that’s Raiders fans for you.” The 49ers play the Raiders this week, looking to improve their playoff positioning, while Las Vegas is looking to the future.
